Bottle share at the Black Iris taproom with the RB Nottingham trip. Mid-brown, a little translucent with very little head. Sweet aroma, molasses, a little rum. Taste is more balanced with raspberry jam coming through the light lashings of rum. Medium body for the ABV and body is a little flat. Delicious stuff.
